We just had the most fabulous trip to El Nido, Palawan in the Philippines. Our time was spent island hopping or scuba diving. Again, the beauty of this region is breathtaking. Up above water is a delight, and then down below amongst the coral and sea life there is an amazing other world. It’s soContinue reading Fall Dressing: In El Nido, Palawan
Cover-Up: Ping Pong Post No. 5
I was so happy when Anna called a cover-up for July’s Ping Pong Piece; it’s pretty much all you’ll find me in this summer out at Spirit Lake. Although my version of a cover-up is a little different: it’s a very old white fisherman sweater. It’s been a very breezy summer, so while I amContinue reading Cover-Up: Ping Pong Post No. 5
Off the Shoulder with No Shorts?!
Of course I brought my off the shoulder men’s shirt to wear as a cover up during last week’s beach to Thailand.

It is a definite perk! The other benefit is living overseas in places like Asia where the travel opportunities are plenty. This is ourContinue reading Style Story: A Week’s Worth of Cover-ups
Kurta-ing the Issue
I love wearing a kurta as a cover-up. They’re the perfect length to cover the bum plus they usually have little side slits that kind of expose the leg. They’re always breezey and comfy for the beach. And they always come in such beautiful patterns and prints. Following are my favorite four: This coral paisleyContinue reading Kurta-ing the Issue
Big Wave Bay
This last weekend Hong Kong celebrated Mid Autumn Festival plus the city prepared for what was supposed to be its largest storm of the year. Luckily on Sunday evening as Typhoon Usagi was approaching Hong Kong it shifted north therefore diverting us. The upcoming typhoon didn’t stop us from visiting Big Wave Bay Beach onContinue reading Big Wave Bay
